 There is a scientific need to develop and standardize the
components of undergraduate education so as to make it ‘Balanced
Education’ (on the pattern of Balanced Food) needed to prepare the
learner’s to face all challenges of life with an integrated personality
development.
 Balanced education is constituted by the prescribed combination of
standardized and evidence based percentages of various domains
(Say,Cognitive=30%+Affective=10%+Physical=10%+Spiritual=10%
+Genetic=10%+Environmental=10%+Social=10%+Temporal=10%).
INTRODUCTION(Contd.)

3. 
On the corollary of balanced food, it is being proposed that
the standardized amounts of various essential components
of all essential domains of education should constitute the
balanced education.
INTRODUCTION(Contd.)

4. 
The current paper mainly, deals with the proposed
details of Physical Education as an integral part of
balanced education and environment. Physical activity
and sports make the roots of all education.
INTRODUCTION(Contd.)

5. 
Many authors in management education give examples
from physical education where athletes are trained for
facing the sports competition challenges in wholistic
domain preparations for body, heart, mind & soul.
Bringing this change may turn the current system of
education into a system of effective balanced education.
INTRODUCTION(Contd.)

6. 
 Recently the term transformative education
(Mezirow, 1981) has also being used for
effective education needed to bring
transformation in the life and personality of
the learner.
 Delors Commission(UNESCO) in 1996 has
referred to four pillars of education for
holistically balanced education. These four
pillars of education are listed as:

 The present paper is an attempt to motivate like-
minded physically educated people to become
instrumental for bringing a paradigm change in
undergraduate education involving the largest
number of youth being prepared by the universities
for shouldering the future responsibilities to expedite
the objectives enlisted by UNO in its millennium
development goals 2015. The content matter of this
conceptual paper is presented in simple language
arranged in following parts :

THE VISION
Each child gets a
second birth after
getting proper rearing
and education just as a
girl gets another birth
at marriage by shifting
from parents to in-laws
home.
Hence a child’s rearing and education
to adulthood through undergraduate
education must be based on evidence
based ideal undergraduate curriculum
on the pattern of national curriculum
framework prepared by NCERT for
school children in the year 2000; as also
recommended in 1996 by Delors
Commission on Education (set by
UNESCO) and explained recently by
Mezirow (2004) in transformative
education.

21.  We must learn from the past mistakes and accept the above
truths and take urgent measures. For example, Galileo Galilei
was kept under house arrest for many years and Giordeno
Bruno was burnt alive in 1600AD, for discovering and
advocating Copernicus’s view point of Heliocentric (sun in the
centre) solar system. It took more than 200 years to realize the
benefit of factual knowledge that earth is a planet in the solar
system. Till 1740 when,the English churches kept on punishing
and even burning alive the scientists on the charges of heresy
for advocating that earth is revolving round the sun. The fact
of sun-centered solar system was discovered by Copernicus
around 1520, what he was wise not to publically publish it to
avoid punishment on the charges of heresy by the then
authorities.
HOW TO ACHIEVE GOALS

22. 
 Hence, it is high time we the physical educationists take
charge of the educational scenario and belie the wrongs of
the current undergraduate system permanently harming
our otherwise educated youth with unbalanced
education.
 Like the past precedence’s of letting the recommendations
of evidence based research thrown in the dustbins, we
should constitute a group in this conference to pursue the
government to stop giving unbalanced education. This
can only be done by balancing undergraduate university
education to our youth through the following four steps:-
HOW TO ACHIEVE GOALS

23. 
 By introducing a compulsory core component of physical
activity in all undergraduate courses like the language
courses.
 Based on the concepts and evidences presented in the
present paper, Vice Chancellor of our university should
be convinced to take up this matter in the next meeting of
Vice-Chancellors held annually by AIU(Associations of
Indian Universities) so as to resolve that physical activity
content should be included as qualifying (2 to 4 credits)
‘personal and social emiront’ content in the compulsory
Environmental Studies paper.
HOW TO ACHIEVE GOALS

24. 
 All universities must start M.P.Ed. course to produce
physical activity teachers for the teaching of above
course content to all undergraduate students of all
the universities.
 Each B.Ed. course must have a four credits
compulsory paper of physical education to create
physical activity culture in the schools.
HOW TO ACHIEVE GOALS

25. 
 As an architect determines the shape and quality of
the buildings, a good teacher determines the shape
and quality of education being imparted to youth
in the colleges.
 Hence, we must provide physical activity education
to all teacher training courses and to all
undergraduate students for producing competent
youth not only with full potentials of one’s genes but
also ready to face any challenges caused by the
dynamic environment.
EPILOGUE

26. 
 PLEASE REACH TO MY SUPERVISOR FOR MORE
CONCEPTUAL DISCUSSIONS AT THE E-mail:
 devinderkansal@gmail.com
 I am sure seniors’ team efforts will bring PAT into
play.
 PAT stands for Physical Activity Technology for the
service of educationists and all members of society.
